What Is Somatic Embodiment?
Somatic Embodiment takes you out of your head and into your body—where real transformation happens. For this we utilize JourneyDance™, where you’ll explore guided movement, breath, and self-reflection you can sink into and reconnect with your body's innate wisdom.
No mirrors, no judgment, no dance experience required—just an open mind and a willingness to hold yourself with grace.

The Experience
"The JourneyDance you guided on Sunday was truly a profound experience for me. I approach events like this with a fair amount of skepticism, but this was therapeutic and beautiful and at the end of it I felt like there’s this fluidity in my mind, like my regular thinking patterns had softened and I felt more free from myself, more liberated to make some new choices. And emotionally moved.
